🚨 Excited to share our latest publication in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS)! @rmets.org 🌊🌪️
We investigate air–sea interactions during Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones (medicanes) using RegESM.

❗Our results show that coupled models reduce uncertainty in medicane simulations and should be prioritized for flood risk and coastal impact modeling. 🌊🏘️

Big thanks to my co-authors: Barış Önol, Ufuk Utku Turuncoglu, Christoph C. Raible

Key findings:
🔹 Coupling the ocean improves SST and storm intensity
🔹 AOW setups produce stronger latent heat flux & more realistic eye shape at the center of the medicane
🔹 Standalone runs overestimate wind & underestimate SST
🔹 Wave coupling improves cyclone depth

We simulated 16 medicanes over the Med-CORDEX domain using four configurations:
✅ Standalone atmosphere
✅ Standalone wave
✅ Atmosphere–ocean (AO)
✅ Atmosphere–ocean–wave (AOW)

🔥 New research: Climate change is increasing fire season overlap between eastern Australia and western North America - about 1 day more each year since 1979.

🧵 1/4 I'm very happy to share this comprehensive review paper covering atmospheric rivers in Antarctica. It was an idea that started during a workshop in Boulder back in summer 2023 and now is finally published thanks to an amazing team effort rdcu.be/d9nFY.

I've created a starter pack for researchers looking at weather, climate, and linking through to different aspects of human health. I've certainly missed loads of very relevant people - so please let me know if you would like to be added.

Thank you @climatedann.bsky.social ! Yes, I've seen it—excellent work. We cited it in our paper.

Hi Katharine, I would be happy to be included. I am adding the info now. Thanks!

🌡️🔥Climate change isn't a distant threat—it's a public health crisis now. Our study shows heat-related deaths in many cities could surpass annual COVID-19 deaths in just 5–10 years at 3°C warming. Urgent action is needed!
